First Day of 2nd Grade!

Yesterday was my Angels first day of school. She got the teacher she had been wanting all summer. The night before we set out her clothes, she took a shower because she is a big girl and big girls take showers not baths (her philosophy, not mine). She polished up a big juicy red apple and we made her lunch.

On the morning of 2nd grade Rosie and I made big sister some blueberry waffles with maple syrup and whipped cream.

1 3/4 cups flour

2 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

12 tsp salt

1 3/4 cup milk

2 large eggs

6 tbsp butter, melted, and slightly cooled

2 small handfuls of blueberries

stir dry ingredients together in a bowl, whisk together wet ingredients in a separate bowl, combine the wet and dry ingredients and the blueberries. Add 1 1/2 ladles full of batter to the hot/ greased waffle iron, cook for 5 minutes.

I always have extra waffles left over so I wrap them in waxed paper and plastic wrap and freeze them for a snack on another day.

Any who, after our breakfast of champions we had a routine photo shoot in the backyard, Angel chose to pose in between the gladiolas she planted a few years ago.

She gave her teacher the apple which I think truly set the tone for the year, she loves giving friendship to everyone, shes never met a person she wasn't friends with.

When I picked her up after school she didn't want to leave, she wanted to stay all day in her new classroom with her old friends and new teacher. I think its going to be a good year!

Now what to do with all my free time? :-)
